Album Description
Available in:
"45:33" is a composition by American rock band LCD Soundsystem, released digitally on October 17, 2006. Commissioned by Nike, New York-based creative lifestyle marketing and public relations agency Cornerstone helped the music efforts and coordinated the track. The original work was initially available exclusively at Nike Music Store on iTunes. A re-release on CD and vinyl was issued by DFA Records on November 12, 2007. An eight track remix CD entitled 45:33 Remixes was released September 2009. "45:33" was re-released as a limited edition white-label vinyl on May 26, 2015.
Background
The publicity for "45:33" described it as being designed to accompany jogging workouts, "to reward and push at good intervals of a run." An early statement detailed that the composition had been refined after several runs on the treadmill. James Murphy later admitted that this was entirely a lie on his part, and that he does not actually jog. He stated that he wanted to make a long-form record like E2-E4 by Manuel Göttsching and used the opportunity provided by Nike to do so. The artwork of "45:33" also resembles that of Göttsching's work.
Parts of "45:33" were later used on the album Sound of Silver, in particular the track "Someone Great", which appears on "45:33" as an instrumental section later distinguished as track 3. The complete track was also released for registered Nike+ users in late March 2007 as a gift of appreciation when Nike+ logged its 10 millionth mile. The composition was available to be sold by Nike via iTunes for six months. DFA Records announced that "45:33" would be re-released on November 12, 2007.
Although the composition is titled "45:33", a reference to the two most common speeds, in RPM, of vinyl records, the actual length is slightly longer.
For the last series of concerts at Terminal 5 and Madison Square Garden, LCD Soundsystem performed 45:33 in full during the second set (Part 3 was saved until the performance of "Someone Great"). In the place of Part 3, LCD Soundsystem performed Sound of Silver.
User Album Review
This continuous piece of music (the title is the album's duration) was commissioned by Nike from James Murphy, to compose "an arc designed for running" - or music to jog to. Originally available in 2006 as a limited download, 45:33 comprises six intertwining parts of differing tempi. Gospel disco is designed to ease you into the mood for a run; a hi-NRG section should inspire a full pelt sprint with Murphy muttering robotic encouragement through a voice box and it concludes with beatless Brian Eno-style atmospherics to stretch your calves out to. Murphy has said this experiment sparked a creative purple patch from which his second album, Sound of Silver, was born. You can hear an early, instrumental version of Someone Great here, and it's pretty melody, twinkling xylophones and pulsing synths are mesmerising enough to take your mind off the pain of physical exertion.
